Aldridge-Beyond the Groove (VHS)

With this incredible video, Tommy Aldridge makes his long-awaited and dynamic follow-up to his first powerhouse Hot Licks video, "Rock Drum Soloing and Double-Bass Workout". Presented in an easy to follow and clear manner, Tommy gives you the best he's got including coming up with original ideas, playing hi-hat patterns with the bass drums, paradiddle bass drum exercises, linear patterns, John Bonham style, accenting different beats, putting patterns into grooves, breaking down the components of a funk groove, switching patterns between the feet and so much more. Plus, as an added bonus, all examples are played with a great bassist, Ricky Phillips, of Bad English. This is a serious video by the best there is, and a must for anyone who wants to be the best they can be.
